Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.

Claim 1

Original Legal Text

1. A method, comprising: facilitating, by a system comprising a processor, a first configuration of a mobile device of mobile devices to cause the mobile device to initiate a request for delivery of content based on a behavior of the mobile device; and facilitating, by the system, a second configuration of the mobile device to cause the mobile device to request a priority for re-establishment of a disconnected connection of the mobile device, wherein the request for the priority is transmitted based on power information for the mobile device.

Plain English Translation

A system configures a mobile device in two ways based on its behavior. First, it makes the device request content delivery based on its usage patterns or travel history. Second, it makes the device request priority re-establishment of a disconnected connection based on the device's power information (e.g., the difference between the device's maximum output power and estimated uplink transmission power). This request for priority is triggered by the device's power status, which indicates the signal strength the device is currently experiencing.

Claim 2

Original Legal Text

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the behavior of the mobile device is characterized by mobile device use information representative of usage of the mobile device.

Plain English Translation

The system, as described in the previous claim, determines the content delivery request by examining mobile device use information that represents how the device is used. This means the configuration for requesting content is based on how the user typically interacts with the device.

Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the mobile device use information comprises a past travel pattern information of the mobile device.

Plain English Translation

As described in the claim about using mobile device information, the mobile device use information includes past travel patterns of the mobile device. This allows the system to predict future location and tailor content delivery accordingly.

Claim 4

Original Legal Text

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power information comprises information indicative of a difference between a defined output power for the mobile device and an estimated uplink transmission power for the mobile device.

Plain English Translation

As described in the first claim, the power information used to request priority re-establishment of a disconnected connection is the difference between the defined output power for the mobile device and the estimated uplink transmission power for the mobile device. This difference indicates how hard the device is working to maintain a connection, triggering the priority request when the device struggles.

Claim 5

Original Legal Text

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the facilitating the first configuration comprises facilitating the first configuration of the mobile device to request a first type of content delivery of types of content delivery based on a location of the mobile device being determined to be within a coverage area satisfying a defined condition, and wherein the first type of content delivery is content delivery at a defined speed.

Plain English Translation

The system, as described in the first claim, configures the mobile device to request a specific type of content delivery (e.g., delivery at a defined speed) based on its location. If the device is in a coverage area that meets a defined condition (e.g., good signal strength), it requests this specific type of delivery.

Claim 6

The system, as described in the first claim, can adjust a network parameter to modify the coverage area upon receiving a request for priority re-establishment of a disconnected connection. This allows the system to dynamically respond to connectivity issues by modifying the network's behavior.

Claim 8

Original Legal Text

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the request for the priority is further transmitted based on a determination that a level of a signal-to-noise ratio measured for the coverage area is below a defined value.

Plain English Translation

As described in the claim about adjusting the network parameter, the request for priority re-establishment is also transmitted when the signal-to-noise ratio measured for the coverage area is below a defined value. So the system adjusts the network parameter not only when the device detects a connectivity issue through power issues, but also through signal-to-noise ratio.

Claim 9

Original Legal Text

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the facilitating the adjusting comprises facilitating the adjusting of the network parameter to extend the coverage area for a defined number of the mobile devices for a defined amount of time.

Plain English Translation

As described in the claim about adjusting a network parameter, the system adjusts the network parameter to extend the coverage area for a defined number of mobile devices for a defined amount of time. This dynamically allocates resources to improve connectivity for multiple devices in the area for a specific duration.

Claim 10
